Conclusion
Our findings revealed a high frequency of vitamin D insufficiency
among pregnant women, suggesting that appropriate vitamin D
supplementation should be given. However, there was no association
between vitamin D levels in the last trimester and PPD; an association
established between feeding method of the infant, relationship with
the partner, crying hours of the infant and PPD. Physicians should
be aware of PPD and closely follow women in both pregnancy and
postpregnancy for signs of PPD.
